How the payment is calculated
Total RVU is work plus practice expense plus malpractice, each adjusted by its GPCI factor, then multiplied by the conversion factor. For 66940 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.11 + 9.08 + 0.81) × $33.4009 ≈ $668.02. The same code in a facility setting pays about $668.02 because facility PE RVU (9.08) replaces office PE RVU.
